Norwich-based seven-piece MAGNOLIA have dropped their newest statement of a track in the form of ‘Five Hundred’. It’s a gritty, complex piece of work that bursts to life with an unpredictable guitar chug at the forefront, before bouncy sax and wailing synths add to the texture. Their intense, experimental sound takes influence from Black Country, New Road, with vocalist Adam Turner’s emotionally impactful vocal finding particular parallels with Isaac Wood’s delivery. “The lyrics overall don’t have any major personal meaning to me, it’s a sort of story or journey about a rather emotionally dark subject, yet one I have only observed rather than experienced,” explains Turner. “That being said, there are a few lines which hold greater relevance than others and can be put to any situation and taken into different interpretations making it more widely resonant.” Keep an eye out for more from MAGNOLIA. -Dan Peeke
